Whither Will Cena Go?

[Cena's Little Helper]

I am not a fan of Cena in the least. In fact, amongst the sea of his avid supporters on this site, I am one of his few detractors. However, I respect his work ethic and passion, and I think he is more than deserving of anchoring one of WWE's shows. Furthermore, I definitely feel that, by moving HHH to RAW without moving Cena to Smackdown!, Cena has definitely gotten a raw deal (no pun intended).

I mean, I could be wrong here, as I predicted that Cena would go to Smackdown! in the first place (however, I predicted this before I knew MyNetworkTV would go down the shitter by deciding to show no original programming save for Smackdown!, so my pride is still intact). But, I definitely don't think they would save his name for the supplemental draft. And, given 12 Rounds' piss-poor box-office, I definitely don't see Cena semi-retiring and making movies full-time for The Vincent, at least not at this point in time (he'll probably be given one more shot before he's stuck making direct-to-DVD releases and USA Originals).

Of course, my belief that Cena got the shaft rests on two more assumptions: HHH will hog up the spotlight on RAW and Cena is not yet above the title. The first assumption's actually a pretty safe one; if HHH does end up taking a backseat to the likes of Cena and Orton within the upcoming months, I'll seriously consider posting the video of me crapping myself should this happen.

The second assumption's not so safe, and is, admittedly, quite contentious. A lot of people will disagree with my belief that Cena's not above the championship. There was a point during this past year (around Summerslam 2008) where I actually thought Cena was reaching a point where he was above the championship. But, ironically enough, putting Cena in the title scene immediately after his return from surgery made it so that it's impossible to not see Cena as either the world champion or the #1 contender for a world title.

Who knows...maybe they intend to now keep both belts on RAW. But, if this doesn't happen, what does the future hold in store for Cena?

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

The future for Cena is either losing to Edge, losing to CM Punk/Briefcase holder, or him being moved to Smackdown. There's no way the WWE keeps two title belts on the same show. Simple as that. I liked it when they let the champions go wherever they wanted to go. They could be on all shows and defend the belt against anyone. Whatever happened to that concept?

Cena's not a bad guy. He's a wrestler who's over with the right demographic. Young kids and sopping wet teenage girls. The WWE will always have the 18-49 male demo. It's a given. Men like wrestling and always will tolerate it, no matter how bad it is.

Cena's not the second coming of Ric Flair or Hogan, but he's over. He's a character people relate to as far as the hard working, tell it like it is, kind of champion. Cena's not a guy who stays in the background. His personality won't let him. Vince won't let him. It'll be interesting to see what happens with the Smackdown title situation. I think somehow, Edge weasels his way into winning the belt. If not, then Orton or HHH lose the belt to SD!

He drops the title to Edge who brings it back to Smackdown. Problem solved.

Ya know damn well HHH isn't gonna give up his title any time soon.

of course not..that would be ludicris....trips drop the title? the nerve!!

i agree cena got a bum deal, he'll be the one to drop the title...not the great triple h! meh whatever. i cant stand a face triple h. he just..i dont know, gets on my nerves. so they dropped his ol'lady...blah blah the storyline has gotten stale already.

i cant understand something ...if edge wins the title at Backlash then why the fuck cena
won it from the begining at Wrestlmania 25 ?!

my toghts is Cm punk uses his case on Cena or Triple
or maby edge win cena at backlash >.>"
there is realy something wierd about it. but i can smell that the WWE will surprize us some how that for sure .

If Cena doesn't get moved in the supplemental draft, either he loses to Edge at Backlash or Punk cashes in MITB. Cena has had a face in RVD cash it on him before but Cena was more hated then as he is now. It would be amazing if Punk did because three of the five MITB winners beat Cena to win the title. Otherwise, Cena moves in the supplemental draft because Smackdown needs that mega face and with Batista and HHH on RAW, it's going to be tough for Cena to stay where he is.
